ABSCTRACT：
The notion of We consider foundations of possible theory of quantum gravity which inherits geometrical structure from the classical Einstein general relativity. We start with basic concepts of space and with the fundamental principle of equivalence and explore the idea of Lorentz gauge gravity. Our main result is that we propose a class of Lorentz gauge gravities with torsion which admits a topological phase in the gravitational sector. It turns out that there is a unique Lagrangian that implies dynamic spin one mode in correspondence with gauge theories of other fundamental interactions. Remarkably, despite a non-compact structure of the Lorentz gauge group, the model possesses rather a positive-definite Hamiltonian. This implies further consistent quantization and leads to a renormalizable quantum theory. It is assumed that the proposed model describes possible mechanism of emergent Einstein gravity. Possible relationship with origin of dark matter and dark energy is discussed.
